I can't say that I agree totally. Remember, Dante hasn't even met his wife yet. His child was conceived thru a sperm bank dropoff. But for the most part, yes its sad and pathetic.
Who's to say its 'acceptable' or not? Of course, and I think anyone would (should, anyway) agree that internet dating is pathetic and pointless. A good example would be kfatal and that one 13 yr old chick on here, whatever her name is. But to meet someone, I don't think all circumstances are unacceptable or wrong. And what would qualify it as wrong? Of course, meeting someone underage would. But what are the other 'qualifications'? I really don't think it matters otherwise.
And this all qualifies with same sex meetings, too. Myself, Big Flipp, Shed, and Bino have all talked about meeting up at a bar at some point. It just hasn't happened, but it will. What's wrong with that? We all live in the same area. Skilz and Frog have chilled multiple times. Again, of course, internet dating is stupid and completely pointless. As is (I saw this mentioned) going into a gallery or seeing someones picture and just falling in love right then and plan on meeting or just starting an e-relationship. Utterly pathetic that is. But to have talked to someone on here or the internet in general (casual talking) and then over time reach a mutual desicion to meet up and carry on a healthy/normal friendship or relationship, I find nothing wrong with that at all. But one thing I think I'm firmly against is falling in e-love, having internet relationships and even having intentions to meet up right then when someone sends you their picture.
With the help of MySpace, it has become well-accepted amongst people to meet someone online. I saw a poll on CNN a couple of weeks ago where it stated that 7 in 10 people who have the internet have met someone online. I guess that's true because to my surprise I find out that more and more of my friends have met someone online. One lucky guy I don't know met a friend of mine and she didn't like him but she felt bad for him because he drove like 40 minutes to meet her so she slept with him anyway. Crazy. But that's beside the point. I hope this post sheds some insight on what I think most people are closeted about.
thats why i dont wanna put my email in my profile. and yeah i got called by some guy here on my cell a couple of months ago cause they got my phone number from my msn profile. yeah stupid of me of having the number there i took it off. i know it was a joke tho and not some perverted stuff and i still dont know who called. but it could have been a person sick in the head that could have phoned me or whatever. internet is dangeous.
